Tr7e 10 icn-making weather.

THIS is ice-making weather.
TUE case OF The People against Mrs.
Richard Flint, was being heard IN the
police Court Yesterday. 1t was quar-
~el between two women over COW. 49,.
As THE time for holding the election
approaches, the public interest does not
seem to grow the least bit lVeller. IL
will probably take some campaign
speeches to enliYen matters.
A MR. MADsEN was arrested in Will
lard bv deputy marshals on Monday,
The deputies have taken to going out
five or six strong, whether for the pur-
pose of making more sure of bagging
any game they may scare up or whether
it is for want of something to do we are
unable to say.
The Police Court seemed to be the
centre of attraction TOR short time
Yesterday. An assault case against
Mrs. Flint and a civil case were on hand
at the same time, and there we're sew
eral parties, besides three or four news
paper iends, who appeared to be deeply
interested in the proceedings.
JOHN MELVIN was arraigned in the
Justices Court yesterday, on the
charge of assaulting his wife with
razor. The case was continued until
to-day, at am, to give defendant an
to consult counsel. Melvin
seems to realize now what he has done,
and to feel very badly about it.
THE Liberals insist that they are 60
ing to give US a better system of gov
ernlnent than we have ever had before.
They would undoubtedly increase the
and make numerous So
called improvements, should they OBJ
tain the city offices; but, fortunately,
they are long way from reaching the
desired goal, if matters are left in the
hands of the citizens of Ogden.

the fiscal year ending June 80. 1886,
it WAS s6.9OO.0OO; since then this was
reduced to about $4,000, 900 and for
the year iust past, the deficiency was
reduced to one million dollars. At
this ratio Of reduction, the Post Office
Department will be running at a
clear profit before the close of the
year. The carrying of the business
mail of the army of oiice-holders O..
the country annually costs the Gov.
eminent the immense sum of two
million dollars. Then, it ought to be
a matter of pride TO all Americans
to remember that their postal service
is the most extensive in the world.
